Article AWS Elastic Beanstalk has a link to AWS CloudFormation, which is a redirect to Amazon Web Services#Deployment. But such section does not exist. Article Amazon Web Services does not even mention CloudFormation... has it been moved somewhere else? --146.122.203.34 (talk) 16:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This content has been removed in 2018 by User:Grayfell without being moved elsewhere with the rationale of Wikipedia not being a directory.

I disagree with him because what was removed was way more than a directory and included valuable links. -- Juergen 217.61.204.139 (talk) 21:04, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't specifically remember this, but looking back at it I see several problems. One is that the section contained external links, which is not appropriate for many reasons. Another is that the section was a hodgepodge of links to articles which were not properly summarize by any independent sources. Yet another problem was they the list included cryptic references to "products" without proper explanation of what they were or why they were encyclopedically significant to AWS as a whole. Yet another problem was the use of "biz-speak" jargon like "solutions". You are free to hold the opinion that these were valuable, but that isn't enough. As I said, Wikipedia is not a directory. Find reliable and independent sources, please.

With sources, this content could selectively be included, but only if summarizes neutrally.

Alternately, the content could be limited to existing articles, presuming that those linked article had reliable, independent sources, and again summarizing those sources neutrally. (per WP:WTAF). Grayfell (talk) 03:56, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please update the total server count for AWS? The article quotes numbers from seven years ago. 109.154.34.221 (talk) 20:22, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
